-----
Voluntary and community organisations are independent, not-for-profit organisations, run by boards or committees of volunteer trustees. Many, but not all, will be registered charities. They are value-based organisations, for which the principle of how a service is provided is often as important as what kind of work is carried out.
Estimates suggest around 70,000 of these organisations are active in the South West; around 18,500 of these are registered charities.
The voluntary and community sector is committed to working for a better society for everyone. Voluntary and community organisations are value-based - the principle of how a service is delivered being as important as the kind of work carried out. Most operate with a mix of paid and voluntary staff drawn from and part of the communities they serve.
